Shooting off sticks, in a howling gale / rain, in poor light with cold hands then the last 0.1moa ain't worth a rats a***.

I also have access to US prices on bullets, dies, brass +++ but became obsessed with accuracy that is, frankly, useless in the field. I had lost the plot and I sold the lot without any regrets.

I now do most of my shooting walking the dog using a combination gun .222 / 12 bore. The rest (foxing and occasional deer) plus rabbits I use .222 and .22LR respectively - all with factory ammo and with .222 Fiocchi at £40/50 there ain't a lot in the price.

Phew.

Breathe.
